Fling Words

You fling words
with the same concern
as skimming stones
offhandedly 
and
unenlightened 
not once
recognizing 
the escalating consequences 
upon the delicate ecosystems 
of the human psyche

Amen to that. My mother had a viper tongue that stings me to this day; making me that much more sensitive to the things I say. If she were alive I'd give her your poem to read ;)

Thank you so very kindly. I've come to understand that words can do more harm and damage than one can see. People should be aware of what and how they say thing even in a well meaning way.
